I have a Navigation Drawer which should appear in all my activities.
I saw many questions similar to this & found a solution like Extending the Main
I made a BaseActivity activity which extends SherlockActivity (or ActionBarActivity if is your case)
public class BaseActivity extends SherlockActivity
Then, make all your activities extends BaseActivity, like:
public class GlossaryActivity extends BaseActivity
Later, you must replace the activity layout with the one that correspond to your activity, I made a method in BaseActivity like that:
protected void replaceContentLayout(int sourceId, int destinationId) {
View contentLayout = findViewById(destinationId);
ViewGroup parent = (ViewGroup) contentLayout.getParent();
int index = parent.indexOfChild(contentLayout);
parent.removeView(contentLayout);
contentLayout = getLayoutInflater().inflate(sourceId, parent, false);
parent.addView(contentLayout, index);
}
I called this method on the onCreate method in each activity:
protected void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
super.replaceContentLayout(R.layout.activity_glossary, super.CONTENT_LAYOUT_ID);
}
super.CONTENT_LAYOUT_ID is the FrameLayout of the BaseActivity, and other param is the layout you want replace with
